What is this formation?
Maybe I have not been that observant up until now, But I don't think I have ever seen a backfield formation like the offense is employing here. So anyone want to play "Name that formation"? Winner will get..... I don't know. My love... all of my love.

Except with Peppers lined up behind Houma instead of Rudock. Whatever it was... It was brilliant.

that said, did we go right on that play?

The closest thing I could find so far was shotgun doubles flex wing. It does appear that I have been living under a rock, or at the very least have only been watching Michigan football for the past few years.

Jimmy, tell me you are going to have a tight end that puts his hand in that ground on every snap. Tell me that you are going to have a fullback that lines directly behind the quarterback, and a halfback in the I-formation.
Yes, coach, we will have that. And sometimes I'll have them both on the field at the same time with the quarterback in shotgun with an offset I-formation to the strong side, but the halfback will be my starting nickleback who is just a wow player. And it would be cool if the tight end was named Butt.

Another vote for pistol offset/strong I but isn't the split end usually on the weak side of that formation?

Unfortunately, I'm stuck listening to the streaming feed of many UM games (and Jim Brandstatter is getting worse by the week, if possible). Dan Dierdorf commented during yesterday's game on the bewildering number of formation variations that the Wolverines use. He's amazed that we don't get many illegal procedure penalties. Kudos to the offensive coaching staff for game prep.

He wasn't good as analyst, either. His wheelhouse is studio host.
I wish they had chosen Matt Shepard, but his shtick is a little much for football.

Green is healthy and is not in the doghouse. He played yesterday. He's just not that good. Johnson and Smith are clearly better and a healthy Higdon is also above him on the depth chart. Not to mention Mr. Peppers.

I admitted D.Green is not very good long ago - but it's not, like, "0fficial" or anything,,, just kind of, like, my opinion man.

I sincerely doubt it because we saw Green, Shallman, and Taylor-Douglas while Higdon did not play. This despite the fact that Green and Higdon are the only players from the above list that are on the depth chart.

That formation is called The Snap of Justice. It is designed to rain hellfire, bloody damnation, and 6 points down upon our foes.

I don't remember him reporting as an eligible receiver. Did I miss that?

Since there are some experts in this thread...I've had a burning question that I need to just let go, I know.
If Rudock takes that 4th down snap against MSU, waits, and throws the ball all the way down the field, it's intentional grounding.
But they don't get to keep the penalty, right? They have to decline to get the ball, right? Accept the penalty and it's 4th down again, right?

Props to Mr. Rudock for his best collegiate game, but all due respect, if you want someone to throw the ball "all the way down the field" you might wanna use a different QB
November 8th, 2015 at 10:13 AM ^
Couldn't he just roll outside the tackle box and avoid the intentional grounding?
